[Q] Best Rom?

Hey guys, I was just looking for your opinion on the best, and most stable rom for the incredible s, currently I'm running miui 1.9.9 and am pretty pleased with it, Im just wondering what else is out there, I tried htc bliss beta 2 sense 3.5 because i missed sense but it had camera issues so Im wondering what your opinion is and what youve tried

android revolution hd is the best hands down imo

"Best rom" is very subjective, as I'm sure a few other people will point out. I for one am using CyanogenMod and can say that I am very happy with it and don't plan to change any time soon. If you want to find more roms you can go take a look at the Development section of the Incredible S forums, there you will find threads concerning roms that you can try out for your device.

Hope you'll find something that suites you,
Cheers!

I agree with scoob on this one rev HD deff is one of the most stable ROMs out there. Cyanogen is very stable as well however I can't get over not having sense. I'd choose from those two both awesome HD is super fast while cyanogen is slightly slower yet is highly customizable and does not include sense.

well, as pointed out , the choice is very personal.
it depends on your preferences as there are some differences in most of the major roms.
so far i've tried ARHD, CM7, MIUI & Virtuous unity.
CM7 is quite good if you are interested in having a non-sense rom but the functionality, stability is top notch. CM7 has set a standard not just for stand alone developers but for corporate production as well.
ARHD is a very popular rom and most people using it will swear by it.
it is sense based, and it will feel like a charged up stock rom.
very professional as well.
MIUI is what i used the longest & i must admit it is a brilliant rom in the fact that it stands out in appearance & customization.
every app and every part of the system is beautified and it feels like a totally different phone. if you are looking to have a 'different' yet amazing phone, MIUI is the way to go.
but the major drawback with MIUI is that it is not officially supported for the INCs and thus there are some minimal bugs which can get a bit annoying.
And of course it has no app drawer, works like the iphone.
this can be handled by the wonderful app created by a member here called alt drawer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154299
i feel this is a must for MIUI.
finally, using VU at the moment and i feel it is a perfect blend of sense components and that little something extra.
looks, feels and works amazingly well, minimal bugs and almost feels like the perfect rom again...
i did however run into a few loop boots recently, but i think that can be worked on.
that's my personal opinion on all the roms...
and i think it would be a good opportunity to give a heartfelt 'thank you' for all the developers here working so damn hard on providing world class roms for us.
Thank you guys, we all do silently thank and appreciate all your efforts!

Inc S is officially supported at miui.us. The two things I miss with MIUI is SRS and handsfree mic. Other than that, its the best lightweight rom available for Inc S atm.
MIUI with Tiamat Kernel works very well.

If you like Sense 2.1 or 3.0 i prefer ARHD.
If you don't like Sense i would go for CyanogenMod 7 Nightly #68.
But that's just what i think ;-)

i've been a user of ARHD, it's the most popular if i may say and developer is very responsive. i haven't gotten to try the other ROMs on an extended time but i'm pretty sold to the ARHD

I'm using CyanogenMod 7 and love it - very fast, good battery (after clearing battery data), and lightweight.
However it is the first ROM I've flashed and while I'm very happy with it, I'll still try others just to see what there is. But if you haven't tried it, give it a shot -you can easily download straight from the ROM manager app

i like revolution hd,but its sense 2.1

Im using arhd and it improves the batt life too. My first rom i flashed on my incredible s.

I'm using virtuos rom v2.37 by far the best rom with sense 3.0!! I've tried them all but the virtuos rom runs very smooth and no fc's.

I m using ARHD 1.1.7 with sense 3.0 patch. everything works fine. however the guy who don't like sense UI must b use CM7. it comes with a lot of customization. miui also a good one. but i dun like it , lack of appdrawer. look like with iphone.

Incredible S slow with Android 4/ICS

Hi!
I recently updated my IS to the newest Android 4 and god, it's slow. There is lag everywhere, I click on a icon and it takes like a second for screen to appear. The previous version was much smoother.
I disabled the animations and it seems to helped a bit, is there anything else I can do? Or just revert to the older version?
Anybody else experiencing the same problem?
Thanks

Thats a known problem with stock ICS
If you flash a custom rom, generally they are faster
for example I had Ice Cold for a few months, rock solid and super fast

I bought my incredible more than one year ago and I've never thought to unlock and go with custom rom until i got the last OTA. I was so disappointed i flashed Nik's project x almost the same day. You should really consider trying a custom rom. If you like stock appearance you could try android revolution HD i bet it will perform way better than stock ics
Inviato dal mio Incredible S con Tapatalk 2

Thanks for your confirmations!
I'll try a custom ROM then.
As for the appearance I use a custom homepage anyway.

After using CM7 for a while, which was great, I upgraded to IceCold 8.1.1. I found it slow and laggy. Then I updated to Official Stock ICS. Same. I updated the radio to the '11' version. Still the same. Now I am using Ice Cold 8.3. Still the same. I did full wipe, and restored apps with Titanium.
I am very frustrated. I want ICS, but I am thinking of going back to CM7.2. I should be happy with IceCold, but I'm not. Slow, laggy, and lots of 'not responding' messages. Facebook app is the worst - almost unusable.
Any ideas anyone? I have:
IceColdSandwich 8.3 Rossi
4EXT Recovery
Blackrose 2.02 S-OFF

Ice cold is not laggy for me at all
How long have you let the ROM settle before deeming it laggy?
What clock speed for CPU? And maybe try go to recovery and clear both cache an dalvik cache, and make sure to do that after every rom flash if you don't already
Just that most of us are having a smooth nearly flawless ICS experience, hard to think only you are having problems

@jcr67: It's funny how mine is the other way round. I mean I didn't use the stock ROM (or whatever it is called) and installed CM 7.2 as soon as I got my phone because I didn't like the stock UI at all and I had seen CM 7.2 running on DHD with my cousin so I was kinda impressed. I kept using it until I visited my cousin and comparing both the phones (play store, I had a topic on that) was just awful. My play store searching, loading, agreement would take ages. I had been trying lots of ROMs until I came across Ice cream sandwich ROMs and the speeds were great (Virtuous Vivo) but it was the stock UI again which got me bored. I, yesterday, came across a topic by Nathan about Incredible S ROMs and battery life and after reading each and every post, I knew IceColdSandwich is my next ROM or I am selling this ****. Then and now, this is the best ROM I tried till now. No lag, great UI (after theme installation that was in the topic itself, it's become even greater). The only problem I am having is with my battery life. I had this on other ROMs too. So all I can say is that I am more than just satisfied with this ROM.
Try reinstalling the ROM by after running the SuperWipe script (inside the Android Revolution HD ROM topic.)
Sorry for the long post.

Ignore my earlier comments, re IceCold.
I always clear dalvik, wipe etc, when installing. But I repeated this anyway, just to make sure. I let it settle down. It got better. And better. And now I have V6 supercharged it.
It's pretty great now.
Except for the battery life. I'm getting not much more than half a day, without doing much.

Usually I ensure that the following are disabled unless I really want them:
- WiFi
- Bluetooth
- GPS
- Vibration (keyboard)
- keyboard tones
- USB debugging
Optional: Automatic brightness turned off and set brightness to comfortable level
If you are overclocking it try to use it at usual clock speed. Overclocking consumes more battery.

I started to use custom ROM after upgrade to ICS. Laggy, even.the apps & notification drawer also laggy.

for me the latest ota ics upgrade is quite good, just sometimes i can feel that things just dun get smooth enough, made my mind and tried few custom roms. Most of them are just really gud in term of performances and looks. Now im gud to go with ice cold rom, much better than official rom of course, and on the battery issue, just make sure u turn off anything u dun need when u dun need them

I find ARHD 3.0.1 with V6 Supercharger script properly installed (no KickAssKernelizer cos I want to wait for a custom kernel) and ultrasmooth rosie.apk to be a fairly smooth running experience.
Tip:
I've improved battery life and reduced common running temperature and hence increased performance/stability/speed by simply running GSM only instead of GSM/HSPA unless I'm in a good signal zone and want to browse data quickly. (I'm talking 2G/3G switching in the mobile network settings.. may not be labelled gsm/hspa in some ROMs). This is a good bet, especially when indoors. I live in a basement so signal drops are more steep for the higher frequency 3G signal.
This should be true for any ROM. Anywhere your data browsing is slow to heart-rendingly unusable.. should definitely save battery, reduce temp, and improve text and call reception to switch to GSM only!

I find project X to be really quick and doesn't seem to struggle with multiple apps running I.e spotify, Facebook and chrome.
Easy to flash too!

We Want ICS
For 'We Want CS' I still can see lag when open apps drawer & pull down notification. Anyway, its still better than OTA update.

ROM Advice

HTC Vivid, S-on, Unlocked boot loaded and rooted. Looking for a new ROM, Preferably ICS and De-sensed. Something light-weight, Easy on battery and RAM usage. Here is a small list of what I do with my phone:
- Music
- Facebook / Web browsing
- Texting. Alot of texting
- Camera / Video
- Calls
- Weather monitoring.
Other than that, Nothing. I don't use GPS, Or bar code scanning apps. I want a light-weight fast, stable ROM. Something that'll work with S-on preferably. It can be ICS or even JellyBean, Gingerbread depending.. but it must be De-sensed.

My advice is use the De-Sensed ROM found in the development thread. It's super small, completely de-sensed, has the CRT-OFF effect, and is pretty reliable.
As with any S-ON phone, you need to flash the kernel via fastboot, then install the ROM, then for good measure flash the kernel again. You'll also need either ClockWorkMod or TWRP recovery to flash custom ROMs.
There are dozens of threads on here which will help you install a ROM with S-ON, and help you through any issues you might have.
With that said, I'd be remiss if I didn't at least TRY to sway you into S-OFFing your phone. It makes life much easier. ROMs install in a single action with no fastboot needed. You can toss a ROM (or several) on your SD card, and go sit in the park with a bottle of wine and try new ROMS all day long.

The Marine Theme certainly doesn't make the phone look/act like it's been de-sensed... I love it myself, don't get me wrong. Holics 1.2 with Marine's theme has been my daily driver since it was released. Holics certainly isn't light weight either at 600MB, versus the 140ish MB of the De-Sensed ROM.
I personally found De-Sensed to be quite stable. I tried Virtrious too, and found that to be full of bugs, though maybe that was a few releases ago by now.

Desensed and virtuous were in fact pretty buggy. Holics made me want to bash my head into a wall. DarkRaider 1.5 is pretty spectacular though. It isn't desensed, but it's very stable and battery life is pretty good.

Is it bad to delete stock / pre-installed apps? Would that affect battery life? I'm currently using a Pure ICS ROM and I deleted some of the stock apps (Calendar, Calculator, etc) and I was wondering if that would have an affect on performance and battery life?
I really wish there was a port of CyanongenMod 9 or 10 for the vivid that would work on an s-on device.
Only reason I haven't s-off'd is because I am lost, confused and not sure what to do.

It depends. System apps can cause problems if you remove them. Miscellaneous stuff shouldn't matter, but only stuff that constantly runs would have any effect. The long and short of it is there's no real reason to delete them.
Just read the superguide, watch the videos and you'll be fine. Hundreds of us have done it without any problems. Just make sure you understand what you're doing. Also keep in mind that the s-off process voids your warranty if that's going to be an issue.

I've deleted stuff like the stock Browser, Stock download manager, Car home thing, The clock widget, Calendar, VPN Services, Stock gallery thing, Stuff like that. Space isn't an issue.. It's more of stuff running I don't want to run, or don't need wasting battery and RAM.
And the phone was bought second hand, So there isn't a warranty.

I think at one point I selected a "No sense" install on a ROM and it still had bits and pieces of the sense parts in it. Forget what ROM it was.
What's you guys and gals opinions on a de-sensed GB ROM? How would that be in terms of performance and battery life on my Vivid? I only like ICS for it's colour theme and that's it... And I highly doubt there are any JellyBean ports for it yet.

Worth it?

I just got my HTC one three days ago. Came from sensation which was good for me thanks to all the devs, roms and kernels available.
Now, this phone is a monster as it is. Is it really worth rooting and flashing roms? Stock seems to be pretty stable, and again this beast flies nonetheless.
Any input is appreciated.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Stock is really good now, unless you want to play really demanding games like NFSMW or Modern Combat 4 etc etc. HTC has set the CPU AND GPU to throttle at 40c which is ridiculously low. So if you hit these temps regularly, games would suddenly start stuttering and lagging till it goes below 40c. With a custom kernel you can tweak this, so personally that's the biggest advantage I have of going that route

Haha this is XDA man... Of course everyone is gonna say its worth it.
Personally I thought the same, stock sense is stable, smooth, and fast.
However I'm a bit of a flashaholic so I got bored within a couple weeks. And development is starting to get very very interesting. There's a ton of fantastic devs and nearly every major aosp ROM has popped up. Most of them are very stable and are getting better and better.
Its really up to you but my vote is to hold out a while, maybe until official 4.2.2 and if you get bored like I did, flash away!
Sent from my Paranoid One

Stock is very fast. I like being rooted however so I just flash ARHD when I want to have the stock look n feel
AOSP development is great, not quite DD for me yet but it's really close
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

I'd stay stock. I have to admit I rooted mine and have regretted it ever since. Just doesn't feel the same even when I return to stock. The only thing good on custom roms is the settings toggles at the top of the notification bar, and it doesn't look like 4.2.2 Roms are going to have it anymore barring trickdroid.
Custom kernels introduce new issues like touch buttons not working properly and bugs and instability.
My phone was the most stable, fast and bug free when it was stock and I enjoyed it more when it was stock too. Can't go more than a day now without flashing something else to try and iron out each bug that comes up.
My vote is stay stock and enjoy your phone before it's too late.
As for cm and aosp, I can't see how they will survive much longer as stock Google loses a LOT of functionality and has awful stock apps including an awful camera app. Phones have moved past them now in my opinion and I can't see how they'll survive much longer unless they start getting access to the proper camera apps that come built into the phones.

not worth
In my opinion its not worth to root this phone. This is actually my first Android phone without root.
The stock ROM is smooth and great except enoying gallery app with Facebook photos but I can easly switch to another app without rooting.

I managed to run unrooted for three days, then I unlocked the bootloader, flashed a few roms (currently on InsertCoin and loving it) and just yesterday I S-OFF'd. Worth it.

If you don't use apps which need SU (AdFree, TitaniumBackup, RootExplorer,...) and you are happy with the stock ROM, it wouldn't be worth it.
PS: Still waiting for my black HTC One and I'm quite sure that rooting it is the first thing I do. (after charging and shortly exploring the phone)

I wasn't happy with stock at all, too stuttery and even basic games were very lagy (came from i9300 sgs3), rooted/flashed cm10.1 within a day of owning my one and haven't had ANY issues at all s-off'd using root explorer and terminal emulator just then in under a minute. Love being free and smooth lol

[Q] best rom for non modder to make phone faster?

Hi all,
It's been a while since I joined the modding fray - my last attempts were with the ZTE Blade a couple of years ago!
My fiancée owns an HTC Desire C but finds it to be really slow. I initially tried installing a custom launcher, but this had barely any effect.
What's the best option here? Do I just install a kernel and overclock, or should I consider a custom rom? If so - whats fastest and most stable? This is a one time thing - I plan on abducting the phone and having a tweak, but won't be allowed to swap rooms and things repeatedly, so I need to get it right the first time!!!!
Thanks

Flash CM10 (there are sam bugs , like wifi hotspot but its fastest) and nope/prometheus kernel... and some tweaks like superboost and adrenaline engine
... just do all steps

Im sorry but sense is by far not as fast as CM10.
There is no such thing as "the best rom" but according to the benchmarks and clock potential, CM10 beats sense.
So any rom that is CM10 based is good.

I agree. I had barely done any modding but the leap in speed and ease of use really makes flashing a cm10 variant worth it.

Best ROM threads are not allowed. Try out the roms and use the one that suits your needs best
